Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain created in 2017. While it has some similarities to Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has established its niche in the cryptocurrency market, attracting its community of supporters and developers.
The arrest of Roger Ver, an early crypto investor known as "Bitcoin Jesus" and an ardent supporter of Bitcoin Cash, shocked the cryptocurrency industry this week. Roger Ver has been a notable supporter of the Bitcoin spin-off since 2017.
Hoskinson, a passionate supporter of the creation of a more secure, scalable and sustainable blockchain ecosystem, has typically focused on the advancement of Cardano's ecosystem. However, the recent attention towards Bitcoin Cash may suggest a broader strategy that is unfolding.
Despite this, the exact reason for the sudden interest in Bitcoin Cash by the Cardano founder remains unknown as well as where it might lead.
